A cold soda initially at 2ºC gains 18 kJ of heat in a room at 20ºC during a 15-min period. What is the average rate of heat transfer during this process?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  q= 20 W                

Explanation:

Given that

Initial temperature ,T₁ = 2 ºC

Heat gains ,Q = 18 kJ

The final temperature ,T₂ = 20 ºC

time ,t= 15 min

We know that

1 min = 60 s

t= 15 x 60 = 900 s

The average rate of heat transfer is give as

[tex]q=\dfrac{Q}{t}[/tex]

[tex]q=\dfrac{18}{900}\ kW[/tex]

q=0.02 kW

q= 20 W

Therefore the rate of heat transfer will be 20 W.

A soda is initially at 2 °C and 15 minutes later, after gaining 18 kJ, its temperature is 20 °C. The average rate of heat transfer is 20 W.

What is heat transfer?

Heat transfer describes the flow of heat (thermal energy) due to temperature differences and the subsequent temperature distribution and changes.

A soda is initially at 2 °C and 15 minutes later, after gaining 18 kJ, its temperature is 20 °C.

First, we will convert 15 min to seconds using the conversion factor 1 min = 60 s.

15 min × 60 s/1 min  = 900 s

Then, we can calculate the average rate of heat transfer using the following expression.

q = Q/t = 18 × 10³ J / 900 s = 20 W

where,

  • q is the average rate of heat transfer.
  • Q is the heat gained.
  • t is the time elapsed.

A soda is initially at 2 °C and 15 minutes later, after gaining 18 kJ, its temperature is 20 °C. The average rate of heat transfer is 20 W.
